How about you stop looking at things as man/woman/black/white/etc and look at this in the way it should be, a fantastic game that actually makes you care about Joel, Ellie, and the others that you come across. Would the game be better if Joel was a strong black woman leading an innocent boy across country? No, it probably would have been awful and unbelievable. It's nitpicking like this that does absolutely nothing to improve on the gaming community. If you're going to nitpick a game do it for actual reasons why the game is lacking, not so you can lure feminists in to boost your page hit counter.
